Our
yearly Spring visit of turkeys has arrived.
Every year the turkeys seem to like to hang around the yard. In a few
weeks we will see the hens come back with their chicks. Right now the Tom is trying to impress the
hens with his fantail display.

| " I'm displaying an impressive fantail here ladies...umm, any takers" |
|

| "Looks like he's at it again Gertrude. Just ignore him Bertha, he's got to get over himself" |
The
dogs are running from room to room barking their heads off at the turkeys. When I let them out this morning they didn’t
run after them at all but simply stopped and looked at them. Once the dogs did decide to move, the turkeys
went on the other side of the flags that mark the underground dog fence. The dogs won’t cross it or they know they
will get zapped. I actually think the
turkeys are smart enough to know this as they stayed just outside the wire
seemingly taunting the dogs. When one
flew away the both dogs ran to the front step.
They are both a couple of chickens.
Inside though, they are very tough.
I’m finding all this very amusing.

| " Mmmm, they look tasty" |
 |
| " I think they're dissing me" |
 |
| "What da ya think Ginger, should we keep barking? I think we're scaring the hell out of them... |
Until
next time
